What breeds do you dislike?

Shandril2 · 02-21-2008, 05:28 PM

Please don't bash people for their personal taste, but I thought we could have a lighthearted thread about what breeds we don't like and why.

I don't like Terriers because they frighten me.
I also don't like breeds with real weepy eye stains like poodles (though I admire their intelligence).

That's about it - I love almost every other dog!

1. Anything with a long, soft beard, like schnauzers, ****zus, bouviers , etc. They STINK!! And when they drink it soaks up water like a sponge, and of course they want to dry off on you and kiss your face.

2. Any kind of curly-haired breed, like poodles, -doodles, etc. I just don't find that at ALL attractive

3. Any dog that looks like just existing is painful for them due to the extremes people have bred them to: neopolitan mastiffs, some overly-smooshed, straining-to-breathe pugs, bulldogs & pekes, basset hounds.

4. All of the corded breeds, like the komondor, puli, etc. That looks so heavy for the poor dog to carry, as well as the odor since you can't really let them get wet. Besides, who wants to pet a mop??

Any kind of small dog that that has a yappy bark. Drives me nuts.

Dogs owned by irresponsible people. If you can't control him off-leash, don't let him off-leash!

As for breeds, I'm generally not a fan of small dogs. I don't really like terriers or hounds either.

I think I've said it before but anything I can step on and accidently kill is out! So that eliminates many of the small dogs.
I really don't like Pit bulls, terriers or poodles.

I'm not a fan of small dogs either. And, not too crazy about Poodles or Pits.

Basically I just repeated all of the other posts :-)

Here here. Though a co-worker has a small dog (a chi-pom?) who she has trained very well, and doesn't bark. He thinks he's a big dog, and I adore him. Plus, he's adorable.

I've never really liked "ankle biters". Yorkie's, mini-anything, ****zu, or any dog that is smaller than my shoe...or any dog that gets carried in a purse or handbag.

"Any dog that gets carried in a purse" ... that is too funny!!! And, I agree with it as well ...
